Summer

With the reconstruction out of the way we finally are finding some time to enjoy the summer. It’s still great weather, with temperatures hovering around 30°C.  Not too hot, not too fresh, just perfect. We like going to Aldinga Beach, where in true Aussie fashion you can drive your 4x4 onto the beach, put up your canopy, and start enjoying the surf.


BTW: have we mentioned that Nora is Potty trained? Already for a couple of weeks it’s no more nappies for our little girl. Or should we say 'Big Girl' now?!? And did we also mention that Ella now has her own room, and is practically sleeping though the whole night? Yes, things are happening this Summer ...

Åhhhh!!! I long for sunshine and some +degrees... Lovely pictures from the beach!
Is Ella always smiling ;)
Talked to Affen last Sunday and heard about the pottytraining. Also heard he took the "potta" with him... Must be good to have a "potta" on the boat, easy to use for that old man, hi hi.

All the best to you all!!

Finally, after such a long wait, there she is: another little girl. And what a surprise she has for us: dark hair and dark eyes! The longer we look at her, the less sure we are of the exact colour of her eyes. Is it brown, dark blue or even dark green? Her birth was in many ways similar to Nora’s one. This time it took 12 hours (who says the second one is easier?!?) The baby was almost two weeks late and had to be induced.  We did so early in the morning in the small countryside hospital of Mt Barker.  After a couple of hours the contractions really took off, and Mikaela got her epidural. Then things slowed down again, and it was not until nightfall when showtime started. A couple of tough and stressful hours followed of hard labour and a stubborn baby that just would not come down.  Assisted by some of the best midwifes in the business, Mikaela pushed herself beyond all limits. She was the hero of the day. She finished it almost completely on her own, but just needed some

Yep, it’s for real. We are officially expecting! An Aussie-Swedish-Dutch-Frisian baby is in the making. In week sixteen now and it’s all looking very good. Due date is somewhere half March, at the end of the summer. For us it is of course the greatest news ever. Mikaela has followed a typical textbook pregnancy so far: some nausea, tiredness, mood swings and a totally messed up taste for food and snacks! She even dislikes chocolate now!!! How crazy can it get?!? But it’s all looking good. We already had an early ultrasound and we saw the little one actively twisting, turning and even waving at us. It was even making loops! Clearly it is having a good time in mummy’s womb. So once again we are ‘on the move’: another big and exciting change ahead of us. We can still hardly believe it ourselves. It’s such a new world to us that we often feel a bit lost. How do start a journey like this?!?
